10 Benefits of Nuclear Radiation Apart As Power Or Weapons of Mass Destruction

Radiation is described by any process in which energy moves through a medium or through space, and eventually absorbed by other objects. With the Japanese earthquake caused a nuclear tragedy, has absorbed the attention of the headlines lately. It's easy to ask why scientists have thought, would be a good idea if boiling water with uranium and plutonium? Few natural effect caused is wrong in society as understood by radiation and radioactivity. Actually there are many uses for radiation are safe and beneficial addition to the power plant and set off a bomb something. This time the paper will provide a list of 10 uses radiation that is not used to generate electricity and blowing stuff

1. Security
If you ever go to the airport lately, you might be familiar with his name part examination with x-ray baggage. By utilizing ion mobility spectrometer, this machine is able to "smell" the elements of explosives, and make sure your flight until the aircraft safely to the destination without exploding. You may not realize that the radiation also plays a role in detecting remnants of explosives and narcotics.

2. Space Exploration
Interstellar space is a place that is dark and cold, so cold (near absolute zero). So that should keep the spacecraft warm critical parts so they do not freeze and locked. NASA solves this problem by placing a heating element that contains radioactive material in critical areas. As the material decays, radioactive provide a small amount of heat is keeping critical parts such as door sensors and camera moves in temperatures approaching absolute zero.

3. Measurement  
Special devices and the use of radiation gauges used throughout the manufacturing and industry to create a super accurate measurement to measure things that are generally not detected by other conventional means. Do you want to check for defects in the weld, the fluid level in a closed system, or who want to make accurate measurements, physically measuring small, the radiation is that you need a tool to measure.

4. Sterilization / Irradiation
Patients with compromised immune systems who require blood transfusions can result in severe problems if they are exposed to foreign antibodies and bacteria from blood donors. Workaround this issue, exposing the blood donated by the radiation, to kill unwanted antibodies while maintaining red blood cells remain intact. The same process also extends the life of some of your favorite foods. Normally the food sterilized by heat (pasteurization) to kill bacteria or refrigerated to slow decomposition.

5. Age Carbon  
Radioactive carbon 14 to decide from time to time at a constant rate. Because of this fact, the scientists used carbon 14 isotope ratio of an object to determine the approximate age of the object. With this tool we have been able to accurately age of objects such as bones of dinosaurs and early humans, expanding our understanding of the natural history and solve puzzles such as old age, "whether people walked with dinosaurs?"

6. Genetic mutation
The ability of radiation to disrupt DNA Agan and cause everything from cancer to get worse well documented in the knowledge of the culture of comic books to movies, but those skills can be used for good? By exposing the seeds with radiation dose, farmers causing genetic mutations in their seeds on purpose. Unlike what you may have read in agan comics, mutation of radiation can actually help farmers develop beneficial crop traits such as resistance to insects and pesticides.

7. Cleaning the air
Cleaning Coal is one of the words of rumors thrown around by politicians, but few are aware that one way of eliminating the emissions from the chimney flue is with electric shocks with electron beam radiation. Environmental scourge everywhere, is an irony that radiation is one of the best ways we combat acid rain and remove chemicals like sulfur dioxide from the smoke before they go into the air and pollute

8. Smoke Detector
Never replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and heed the warning that there is a radioactive substance inside the device? Many older smoke detector uses substances that emit radiation, americium-241, sniff looking smoke. When smoke particles cut off between americium and radiation detectors, the alarm sounds, giving you a few precious seconds extra warning to get out of the house or to remind you to grill your meat.

9. Medical Radionuclide
One of the greatest dangers of nuclear fallout is swallowing tiny radioactive particles that can cause the body agan cancer and other diseases. So HAVE agan think intentionally ingesting a radioactive substance? By sending radioactive material into the body, the doctor can see the radiation coming out and determine all sorts of things that are important such as the organ function, blood flow, and even detect certain cancers.

10. X-ray picture (radio graph)
Wilhelm Rontgen put the discovery of X-ray radiation to be used as a treatment in 1895 to take a picture of the bones in his hand. Since it's hard to imagine having a modern medical procedure or diagnosis without first having an X-ray. Simply by allowing doctors to look inside the body and see what happens, the radiation may have saved more lives than it has been claimed. (toptenz.net)
